How New Jersey Law Handles Asset Division In Divorce
Like most states, New Jersey uses the equitable distribution model for dividing assets and debts between divorcing parties. In this method, marital assets and debts must be divided equitably or fairly between the spouses – not necessarily evenly. Generally speaking, “marital assets” include everything that either spouse acquired during the marriage. Nonmarital assets that have not become co-mingled with marital assets, such as a bank account in one spouse’s name that the other spouse never had access to, belong separately to that spouse alone and are not divided.
Living in an equitable distribution state gives you and your spouse significant room for creative and tailored solutions to the asset division problem. Laurie Bernstein routinely handles the division of assets and debts of all sizes and levels of complexity and is prepared to advocate for your property rights.
